I didn't actually read the patch yet, but I quickly tried it out.

For example the Free Swing Demo for the ProgressBar are terribly slow now and eat up all CPU. In general things feel slower with this patch, but that might be subjective. I didn't do any real measurements. > - We need to implement GdkGraphics2D.setXORMode.

Yeah, that seems a very good thing. It warrants a gtk+ version bump imho. Cheers, Mark
